The E.P. Carrillo Inch Natural No. 62 packs a big ring gauge into a compact length, a Short Gordo that measures 5 x 62. The Inch line takes its name from its oversized dimensions, and the No. 62 is the one for smokers who want the size without the long smoking time. Ernesto Perez-Carrillo built it around flavour first.
A natural Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper from the upper primings covers a Nicaraguan binder. The filler combines Dominican Piloto Cubano, Corojo and Criollo 98 with Nicaraguan Viso. The cigar is handmade in the Dominican Republic.
Expect earthy spice, cedar, coffee and creamy sweetness, with black pepper and a little cocoa late in the smoke. The wide ring gauge burns slow and cool, and the draw stays smooth.
E.P. Carrillo Inch Natural No. 62 suits seasoned smokers who want a flavourful, full sized cigar for about an hour and a half. It pairs well with a coffee or an aged rum.

I’ve enjoyed everything Carillo has made, going back to the La Gloria Cubana days back in Miami. And I’ve been buying various sizes of Inch for years. They’re less peppery, a bit more towards the graham-cracker palette of flavours. Will continue to buy.
